ADVANTAGE
Around one and a half hours of sunlight on our earth covers the entire yearly need for energy in the world. Hence, we have no lack of energy on earth, it is just a matter of harvesting the sunlight efficiently and that is the competitive advantage of Solarus.
Solarus PVT collectors utilizes both long-wave sunray for heat production and short-wave rays for electricity. Since only about 23% of the energy in sunlight has wave-lengths that can be used by standard silicon cells, while a PVT colletor can utilize around 90% of the energy in solar radiation. The PVT collectors sold by the different Solarus companies are several times more efficient than ordinary silicon panels. Most of the natural gas that EU imports is used for heating and hot water. Using solar electricity to heat water is inefficient and requires much more sunny space then Solarus collectors and we simply don't have that space in our densely populated areas, not to mention the vast amount of resources needed to produce a large number of traditional solar panels compared to a small set of our efficient collectors.
Solars PVT collectors are an essential ingredient to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and strengthen local energy security. Solarus offers a more efficient transition to a carbon free world with fewer resources and lower cost.
